Don't flash Magisk 17.0+ ***on STOCK ROM***

[mickey36736]

I will answer my own question. Unfortunately, the latest stable magisk is causing a bootloop for oreo b03

Same for me as well.
Even I tried the custom version of magisk from here. (19.2)
https://github.com/ianmacd/MagiskBuilds
It's still bootloop after the penguin sign.
Flash the magisk 16.7 back and it boots just fine.

Yeah. Its because of the stock kernel and something about zte-policy stuff inside it.

Idk if it works on b03 (im still on b02) but im using the kernel from asderdd which fixes the bootloop issue (and of course the modem modules in the same post of his to have wifi working). And it works. Even though it states its for A2017U oreo, it works flawlessly for me on my G.

If someone is willing to try again:

- [General] Fix bootloops on some devices with tmpfs mounting to /data

I can't test it because I'm on the Slim stock so it works by default

I tested 19.2 on B01 oreo and it still bootloops.
Flash 16.7 back and it's working again.

I tested 19.3 on B01 oreo and it still bootloop.

I got 19.3 working on an Axon 2017G with raystef66's Slim B03 ....
Steps :
Install Nfound' s TWRP 3.2.1.8 Axon 7 Oreo.
From within TWRP,install raystef66's B03 bootstack.
Install Slim B03.
Run Raystef66's A2017G_O_system_permission_enable patch.
Install Magisk 19.3.
reboot (don't clear cache and dalvik)
After the reboot,you'll get an error about a damaged sdcard,if there's 1 installed .....ATM,I didn't found a way to format it as removable storage,because the format doesn't work,no matter what filesystem is used for the refreshing.
However,formatting the sdcard as extra internal storage works,and is recognised by the systm,so I can live with that...
Reboot,go to TWRP ,clear cache and Dalvik and you're good to [email protected] least,I got so far with this approach....

Oh so that's why i got that sd card errror. I had to format the card to fat32 and it started working fine again as removable storage

It's been a while and today it's the end for stock rom user.
Today, Safetynet has some new update that finally broke magisk hide for old version of magisk.
For stock user now require to use custom rom instead that support magisk 17+ and higher.
And yes, I tried magisk 20.3 and it bootloop back to recovery screen.

Damn.. I'll see how long my Banking TAN app keeps working.
I don't want to be forced to reinstall everything.
I'm just using magisk because of GCam.

My magisk manager from 16.7 crashes constantly, is it just me?

Hi, im completely lost now what to do next.
I followed a guide enable twrp rooting magisk
And now i have A2017UV1.1.0B35 nougat (7.1.1) with twrp. I want to install the latest version of magisk but phone end in bootloop as written here in this thread. Last working magisk version is 16.7 but it is too old magisk manager crashes and cant install modules( smali patcher module) on it.

I see that there is kernel solution for Oreo, but i cant find bootstacks for my model (A2017U) to try this solution, i think i saw only for A2017G model.
Second choice is custom rom and this is like deep ocean for me, i have no idea what to do. Which custom rom would work okay with latest magisk version and my phone model?
I would be very happy if someone point me to a guide or a solution, all i want to is to make latest magisk work.

On Stock B35 you should have TWRP 3.2.1. Magisk 16.7 w/ Magisk Mgr 6.1 work just fine. Try flashing the Magisk uninstaller to insure you are working from a clean start & you should have no issues. Good luck.

Why do you need a specific version of twrp? It's just a recovery partition. Can't you just go to twrp.me and get the latest official version?

I've absolutely hated the custom ROM scene on this phone since day 1. Everyone made a "here's how to do it" guide and they all recommend specific versions of things made by specific users. As if they all fix some certain issue. Every time I tinkered with this phone I was compelled to review 10 threads to ensure I had the most ironclad instructions.

In the end I returned to stock a couple of years ago because it was just too much confusion on here.

Unfortunately not. TWRP revisions are tied into bootloader code & if theTWRP rev is not compatible you will not boot w/ solid red light or bootloop.
